It's the most important rule of scuba diving: If you don't feel right, don't go down. So after her father falls ill, 12-year-old Julie Sims must take over and lead two of his clients on a dive miles off the coast of Alabama while her father stays behind in the boat.

And once she surfaces, things only get worse: One of the clients is in serious condition, and their dive boat has vanished.
